Why Myanmars Buddhist campaign in defence of race and faith is murderous Myanmmars Ma-Ba-Tha or Defence of Race and Faith is led by Saffron-robed murderers and supported by men in generals uniform. You can be a Burmese nationalist, a Myanmar patriot. And you can be a Buddhist. But you cannot be both Burmese and Buddhist. I spent nearly 3 hours in a row, without even a bathroom break, exchanging views with Sri Lankan equivalent of Wirathu, the icon of BBS and his lay fellow BBS leader in Bangkok. At the end of our tape and video-recorded conversation, both Sinhalese men, one in Saffron robe, admitted that they are nothing but Sinhalese nationalists. They admitted that their message of defending Sinhalese culture, nation and identity has NOTHING to do with Buddhism. I too was a monk. I did study Buddhism. And I live my life mindfully, humanly good and bad. I call these Saffron robed men (and women/nuns) nothing but deluded Buddhists who do not either understand the philosophy or wilfully misuse Buddhism for their own agenda - whatever it is. There are Buddhist monks, and there are murderers in Saffron robe, with shaven heads. Myanmmars Ma-Ba-Tha or Defense of Race and Faith is led by Saffron-robed murderers and supported by men in generals uniform. groundviews.org/2014/04/15/the-mad-monk-phenomenon-bbs-as-the-underside-of-sinhala-buddhism/
